Description
Knots, Splices and Fancy Work preserves a wide repertoire of practical and decorative ropework. The book is written from the perspective of a seaman’s craft, combining techniques for utility with more elaborate works.
The content includes, among other things, whipping, eyes, knots, lashings, plaiting, seizing, grommets, and splices. Decorative works such as Turk’s heads and mats are also included, with illustrations supporting the explanations.
The book is suitable for sailors, apprentices, and others who wish to develop their skills in traditional ropework. It can also provide inspiration for maritime craft projects and restoration. When working with modern ropes and load-bearing connections, the manufacturer’s current instructions must be followed.
